because the election acts verified by the Brigade of Manzanillo have been
considered really important. So, I have the pleasure to inform you about it
hoping that you can share this information with all your departments and giving
it all the possible promotion. Fatherland and Liberty, Las parras (Holguin),

Griñan was given the rank of Commander and designated Chief of Major
State of Jose Maceo. Later, Tomas and his parents immigrated to
